The CRO coin is the native token of the entire Crypto.com ecosystem.

If you believe that Crypto.com will be a significant player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, you may want to buy into their token.

You can do so directly on the Crypto.com app. However, it is also possible to buy CRO from another cryptocurrency too!

Note: With the recent rulings by MAS on Binance (International), you are no longer able to purchase crypto from SGD on their platform. This means that both the P2P trading and purchasing crypto from a SGD credit card are currently unavailable.

  1. FTX
  2. Crypto.com (Credit / Debit card)
  3. Crypto.com (Xfers)
  4. Huobi
  5. KuCoin
  6. Bittrex
  7. OKEx

and here is each method explained in-depth:

FTX

FTX is a cryptocurrency trading platform that is based in California.

They offer one of the cheapest fees when it comes to trading crypto!

Here’s what you need to buy CRO on FTX:

  1. Deposit USD to FTX
  2. Select the CRO/USD trading pair on FTX
  3. Enter the details of your order

#1 Deposit USD to FTX

While FTX supports SGD, there are no SGD trading pairs with cryptocurrency on the platform. FTX only offers a CRO trading pair with USD. As such, the best way would be to deposit USD on the platform.

You can read my guide on depositing fiat currencies from Singapore to FTX to find out more about how you can deposit USD to FTX.

#2 Select the CRO/USD trading pair on FTX

Once you’ve deposited USD, you can start to trade it for CRO.

You’ll need to go to the hamburger icon on the left-hand side of FTX’s platform,

FTX Platform Hamburger Icon

and then search for ‘CRO‘ under Spot.

FTX CRO Trading Pair

Futures are a rather complicated product, and you should only be trading in futures if you understand it well!

#3 Enter the details of your order

You can make 7 different orders on FTX:

  1. Limit
  2. Market
  3. Stop market
  4. Stop limit
  5. Trailing stop
  6. Take profit
  7. Take profit limit

After selecting your order type, you’ll need to:

  1. Select the amount of USD you want to buy 1 CRO at
  2. Select the amount of CRO you want to buy
FTX Buy CRO USD

Once your order has been processed, CRO will be credited into your account.

Verdict

FTX charges up to 0.07% (for taker fees) on their platform. This is one of the cheapest fees that you’ll be able to receive for Spot trading!

Due to its rather low fees, FTX can be a platform that you can consider if you want to reduce your costs.

Crypto.com (Credit / Debit card)

Crypto.com allows you to buy crypto directly from your credit or debit card.

Even though it is the most convenient method, you may be charged high fees.

How to buy CRO on Crypto.com with a credit / debit card

Here’s what you need to do to buy CRO on Crypto.com with a credit or debit card:

  1. Go to Crypto Wallet
  2. Click on ‘Buy CRO’
  3. Select a debit or credit card to make the purchase

#1 Go to Crypto Wallet

You’ll need to access your crypto wallet on the Crypto.com app.

Crypto.com Crypto Wallet

This can be done by tapping on the central icon and going to ‘Crypto Wallet‘.

CRO should be one of the first few currencies that appear on the list.

After that, you can tap on ‘CRO’.

#2 Tap on ‘Buy CRO’

You will be on the CRO price page. You’ll need to tap on ‘Buy CRO‘ to make the trade.

Crypto.com Buy CRO Page

#3 Select a debit or credit card to make the purchase

After that, you’ll need to select a credit card or debit card to make your purchase.

Crypto.com Buy CRO Credit Card

Once the transaction has been approved, CRO will be credited into your CRO wallet.

Verdict

Buying crypto using a credit or debit card can be very expensive, and Crypto.com is no exception.

You will be charged a 3.5% fee when buying from Singapore!

Furthermore, you are unable to choose the price of CRO that you wish to buy at. You will be buying at Crypto.com’s prevailing market price, which may be higher or lower than the actual price.

As such, it is not really cost effective to buy crypto using a credit card.

Crypto.com (Xfers)

Crypto.com also has Xfers support, which means that you can actually buy crypto directly from SGD!

How to buy CRO on Crypto.com with Xfers

Here’s what you need to do to buy CRO on Crypto.com using Xfers:

  1. Connect your Xfers wallet to Crypto.com
  2. Go to Crypto Wallet
  3. Click on ‘Buy CRO’
  4. Select ‘Fiat Wallet’
  5. Select the amount of CRO you wish to buy

#1 Connect your Xfers wallet to Crypto.com

Crypto.com App Select Settings

and then tapping on ‘Xfers Account‘.

Crypto.com Select Xfers Account

From there, you can link your Xfers account to Crypto.com.

#2 Go to Crypto Wallet

You’ll need to access your crypto wallet on the Crypto.com app.

Crypto.com SGD to CRO Xfers

Verdict

Crypto.com does not charge any fees when trading crypto on their app.

However, you can’t decide the price that you are buying CRO at. This is based on Crypto.com’s prevailing market price.

This may be higher or lower than the actual market price.

This method is very simple if you don’t want to trade crypto, and just want to buy it instantly.

However, the difference between the actual market price and Crypto.com’s price may be quite high!

The remaining exchanges do not support SGD

For the next few methods, they do not allow you to deposit SGD into their exchanges.

This means that you’ll have to buy a cryptocurrency from one exchange, and then send it to these exchanges.

The currency that you should buy is Bitcoin or Ethereum, which would have the most number of trading pairs.

However, you’ll need to consider the withdrawal fees that you’ll incur when sending your crypto on the blockchain.

Depending on the fees, it can be really hefty!

You can consider using Gemini’s Active Trader, which charges a rather low 0.35% trading fee. You are able to purchase either BTC or ETH from Gemini.

Gemini SGD Trading Pairs

After that, you can send your BTC or ETH to any of the exchanges below. You will not be charged any withdrawal fees for up to 10 withdrawals per month.

Gemini No Withdrawal Fee

Huobi

Huobi is another crypto exchange that allows you to trade a variety of cryptocurrencies.

Since they do not allow you to deposit SGD onto their platform, you’ll need to deposit another cryptocurrency into the exchange first.

Here’s what you’ll need to do to buy CRO on Huobi:

  1. Deposit USDT or BTC into Huobi
  2. Select a trading pair with CRO
  3. Select the type of order you wish to make
  4. Select the quantity of CRO you wish to buy

#1 Deposit a cryptocurrency into Huobi

First, you’ll need to go to ‘Balances → Exchange Account‘.

This is where you will deposit your crypto to.

You can choose a wider variety of cryptocurrencies to deposit into Huobi, compared to Binance.

Huobi Deposit Cryptocurrency

Huobi has trading pairs with USDT and BTC. As such, you should deposit either of these currencies!

#2 Select a trading pair with CRO

If you just want to trade your crypto, you can go to ‘Spot Trading → Exchange‘.

Huobi Spot Trading

You’ll be brought to the exchange platform, which can be rather overwhelming.

This is because KuCoin does not support any fiat currencies!

How to buy CRO on KuCoin

To deposit either coin into KuCoin, you will need to go to ‘Deposit‘.

Verdict

Here are the fees that you’ll incur when buying and sending CRO on KuCoin:

Furthermore, they have the highest trading volume among all the other exchanges!

  1. Deposit USDT or BTC into OKEx
  2. Select a trading pair with CRO

  1. USDT-TRC20
  2. USDT-ERC20
  3. USDT-ALGO
  4. USDT-OKExChain
OKEx USDT Supported Networks

Usually, most of your USDT should be ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. It’ll be good if you double check which network your USDT is on.

If you send your USDT to the wrong address, it will be lost forever!

You can buy USDT from your credit card, but the fees may be expensive

Another way that you can buy USDT or BTC on OKEx is by using a credit card.
